Abstract
A cable cutting apparatus incorporating a mechanism for preventing the erroneous cutting of the cables in use, which is both inexpensive and simple. This cable cutting apparatus includes a cutting mechanism having cutting blades for cutting a cable; a core potential recognition unit for recognizing a potential of the cutting blades brought into contact with a core of the cable as one of a potential for a cable in use and a potential for a cable out of use; and a locking mechanism for locking cutting movements of the cutting blades of the cutting mechanism whenever the core potential recognition unit recognizes the potential of the cutting blades in contact with the core of the cable as the potential for a cable in use.
